### In the lessons

In geography and language lessons, Hungarian is famous for being very different from its neighbours' languages: it is not Slavic or Germanic but belongs to the Uralic family, related distantly to Finnish. Hungarian foods like goulash and inventions such as the Rubik's Cube are well known. Common phrases: «Hungarian goulash», «speak Hungarian», «Hungarian music».
